		<description><![CDATA[After being woken up early this morning, we decided to make the most of it and go for a birding walk (something we haven&#8217;t done in months). We first headed to Lake Artemesia, and kept on driving when we saw a park ranger directing people into the lot and a big sign announcing a fishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had planned to visit my family in Ontario this weekend, but with the three feet of snow we&#8217;ve gotten in the DC area this week, we postponed that trip until after the thaw. Which is good, because the weather they&#8217;re getting on the other side of the Lakes this week is likely to swoop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a completely gray and rainy Sunday, we took advantage of the beautiful clear weather to walk around Lake Artemesia. I can&#8217;t remember the last time I was up there; they&#8217;ve completely repaved and widened the path around the lake, and have removed at least one tree the roots of which were growing up through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ruby-crowned Kinglets are making their way through our area, likely somewhat stalled by the nasty cold rain we had most of last week. On my way back from the mailbox this morning I passed several little chatterers flitting around in the bushes near the public library. Even better, yesterday I had a kinglet hover [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During our week in Acadia, we saw (or heard) about fifty birds. I had this idea that we would be finding warblers everywhere we turned, however, they seem to have mostly migrated by now. We did see a number of new species of warblers and other birds, enabling me to add about a dozen new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sunrise on our last morning in Acadia. Since we were already getting up insanely early for our thirteen-hour drive home from Maine, we thought we&#8217;d get up even earlier and watch the last sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain. However, it became apparent that we weren&#8217;t going to make it, due to my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just exactly like last year, states have started allowing private citizens to kill public wolves in the Rockies. Why public? Because the federal government has spent 27 million dollars to reintroduce those wolves and obtain the stable 1600 animal population, that&#8217;s why. When we let yahoos real estate agents kill wolves, we give them an [...]]]></description>

The full Cash Lake trail was open, not yet closed for the season to protect the waterfowl that winter at the park. In addition to getting some fresh air [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a general rule, I don&#8217;t like to spread poisons around. Not inside the house, not on the lawn, not to kill bugs, and not on any of the plants I&#8217;ve planted. There are, of course, exceptions. For the first couple of years we lived here, we sprayed poison in a perimeter around the foundation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of the Gay Butterflies Butterfly Weed assortment to bloom. One of my goals in selecting plants to add to our garden is to attract more butterflies and predator insects. As with the desire to have more birds, it&#8217;s my hope that the mosquitoes can be kept to a minimum by natural predation. So far, [...]]]></description>
